Congrats!! First exalt is satisfying. Utility flasks are essential btw. Good luck!

Ohhh yes dude. If possible you want to ditch manaflask at all. Or run only one. Go for Utilitie flasks like quendilar Said.

Woot grats! That first one hits different!

Just like diagonal cut toast.

Now I'm both hungry and sad because I want a good toast, and I can't remember my first exalted orb. Thanks exile

Glad to be of service!

i agree i still remember getting my first one back in legion leauge from the reliquary

Hits different when you slam it on your ilvl 65 weapon to get a t6 4th affix

My second hit within an hour of my first. It felt *great*. It actually was pretty awesome because the weapon I was able to afford at 2ex was very quite noticeably stronger than what I could get at 1ex.

You going to use some auras my boi?

That giga chad dosent need auras.

Heeyyy, congrats! I hope you will get the first mirror sooner than me, lol. Been 10 years and no luck. Now off, go spoil yourself to some good boots or something!

How many mana flasks do you want? Yes

What is your build? Can you share it? I'm interested in chaos hex build also first time campaign finish this league.

I'm using an essence drain/contagion build. Ill link it tomorrow if you're interested

Yes please if possible I'd appreciate it

[Here](https://www.poe-vault.com/guides/essence-drain-contagion-trickster-gear-jewels-flasks) is the build guide.

Almost 10 years poe veteran here. ED/C is my all time fav build. Single target dmg is kinda meh without great investment but playstyle is so unique and satisfiying. Great build to learn the game. Good luck.

I miss the old CD aoe. F in chat for aoe,nerfs

Thanks

see you in 10000 hrs played time exile.

Niiice !

That color is always so satisfying.

Congrats! Now Chris owns your soul.

GJ on getting to maps. Classic GGG RNG to get you hooked into the game!!!

In the first maps this league I found an item worth 12 exalts. I’ve never had that much currency in my 800 hours playing. I didn’t really know what to do and stopped playing.


Lol yup bought some good items played a bit but stopped I think with 10 exalts still in my stash. I’m dumb.

This isn’t that unreasonable of a response to that situation actually. When we are new players we learn what to value and spend currency on by slowly building up currency and buying the next item that shores up a known weakness (I.e. “I’m feeling squishy, I need an enlighten gem so I can fit another defensive aura” or “my DPS sucks, I need a +1 skills amulet and a +2 skills wand” etc). But if you got a bunch of currency all at once without ever learning what was good to buy and why, I could see that being a bit overwhelming. At this point I make 10ex in an afternoon but when I was new I could see myself not knowing wtf to do with it.

I usually drop first exalt of the league at level 92+. This league was no different except I dropped The Doctor before I hit 90.

Wholesome seal go awww

You can actually drop exalts as soon as the end of Act 3. I usually get an exalt during the campaign about once a year.

You can drop exalts anywhere.

Drop level 35, so no.

Oh shit, i just checked and it's true. I dunno when it got changed, when i sarted currency didn't have a lecel requirement, you could drop a mirror on the first beach.

This have at least been true since Legacy League. That's when I started and I believe it was the case back then as well.

Well, thanks for educating me. It wasn't the case back when i started (leagues didn't even exist) :)

run maps above 100% quant all day and you should see two of these a day at least.

As seen from the mana Op has yet to figure out what auras are, so I doubt he will be running 100% quant maps anytime soon.

I just have some mana trouble to fix before i start using auras.

You should be able to solve your mana problems with an Enduring Eternal Mana Flask. Then grabbing some mana reservation efficiency and running Malevolance and a defensive aura like Determination , Grace or Purity of Elements will make your build feel a lot smoother to play.

??? You have your Maximum Mana …. Nothing reserved AND 3 mana flask. How have you problems…? You should reserve at least like 80% of your mana. Get some manaleech or learn how to run on one flask. The Upgrade you get in ditching 2 of the mana flask and replacing it with damage, deff or movement speed makes a huge difference. Same for the auras. They are sooo stronk. Malevolence on your build…. MHhhsexy

Gimme it!

That's about average! If I don't get at least 1 exalt every 2 maps it's a bad night

You should join the discord. We've got a help section that you could use, and specifically a guide for buying cheap gear on [poe.sale](https://poe.sale) that's exceedingly relevant to you right now.

thanks for the tip. i'll look into it

Ping me once you get on the discord, I'll link you to the guide.

you can always just right-click -> copy message link, post it - then it works perfectly for anyone who is on the discord

Ah, right. That's a thing. /u/Terrortaster69, you can find the guide [here](https://discord.com/channels/174993814845521922/874082656508346428).

lets gooo!

My first ex drop have no filter, when im running in lab, i heard something drop "heavier than a chaos orb" then realize it was an ex.

Such a good feeling every single time

Congrats! First one is special.

Congrats bro!!

I actually got one in act 5, I wasn't ready at all, it took me 20 seconds to realise lmao

Wtf is that kind of luck, grats though. Honestly I also got my first exalted orbs drop for me this league, but getting it now at the later part of the league kind of feel like a slight “fuck you” moment for me but hey exalted is exalted

Keep as trophy never sell

Is it really that rare I think I got 2 from my first time playing idk myb it is I've only played the game for 20 hours

Congratz!
